Standalone pages in your WordPress

Sometimes, or perhaps quite often, you want a page on your WordPress website that does not show up in your navigation menu. This can be for many reasons – landing pages to support your overall online marketing strategies, targeted special offer pages, all kinds of uses for a standalone page will arise as you get used to working with the ease of WordPress.

While not known for the catchy titles of my colleagues, the above says exactly what this plugin enables for you. Simon Wheatley’s “Exclude Pages from Navigation” plug-in is a standard that we install on all new WordPress blogs or websites – especially the latter – it’s an essential.

So – install the plug-in (Plugins, Add New and search for, then install, “Exclude Pages from Navigation”) and then on each page you will see the option to “Include this page in user menus” – simply tick this when you DO want that page included.
